The 6th National Spelling Bee was held at the National Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 27, 1930.[3] Scripps-Howard would not sponsor the Bee until 1941.

The winner was 14-year-old Helen Jensen of Council Bluffs, Iowa, who correctly spelled the word albumen.[4] Ruth Des Jardins of Michigan came in second after stumbling on "asceticism," followed by Mildred Froning of Indiana, who went out on "conflagration".[5][6]

The final hour of the contest was broadcast on radio, starting at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, by the National Broadcasting Company.[7]

There were 24 contestants in this year's competition.[8] The first-place winner received $1,000, while second place was awarded $500, and third place received $250.[5]
